Abstract
A system for fulfilling orders under non-persistent network conditions includes point-of-sale terminals and a server. Each of the terminals generates state changes corresponding to one or more orders, queues the state changes in one or more durable order queues that correspond to the one or more orders, and transmits the state changes in the one or more durable order queues, from oldest to youngest, when operably connected to a network. The server is operably coupled to the terminals via the network, and receives the state changes, and transmits the state changes to the terminals. The server includes a queue processor that queues the state changes in a plurality of durable terminal queues that correspond to the terminals, where the state changes are transmitted to a first one of the of terminals, from oldest to youngest, when the first one of the terminals is operably connected to the network, and where the state changes are maintained in durable terminal queues corresponding to other ones of the terminals while the other ones of the terminals remain operably disconnected from the network.
